North West. Seriously, that's the kid's name ... at least according to the birth certificate from Cedars-Sinai hospital.

There were rumors floating around a few months ago that Kim and Kanye West might give the baby a directional name ... but who thought they would actually go through with it?.

Back in March, Kim Kardashian told Jay Leno there was no way she would name her kid North West, and that she preferred "Easton West" instead:

That is not true, [North is] not one of the names on our list. But you know, what name I do like but it probably won't be on is, I do like — 'cause it kinda goes with North — I like Easton. Easton West. I think that's cute.

According to Us Weekly, they'll call her "Nori" for short. Not Kaidence, not Kanye Jr., not KimYe, not Easton, not Weston, not Donda, but North "Nori" West. Is that better or worse than a "K" name?
